Blue Route Closed
Due to forestry operations in Lugduff forest, the southern half of the Blue route (along the forest road) is closed. The northern half of the route, along the Spinc boardwalk remains open. The White and Red routes are therefore unaffected.
The Red Route and the Wicklow Way are also open again following closures.
